Almost all of the seniors who
visaed the slate colleges for senior
visitation weekend came home
yesterday with a desire to become
part of a college student body and
a wish to be called "college man
or woman." Not only was this
weekend full of fun for those who
did visit, but they had the chance
to examine and become acquainted
wiui the various courses which are
available to them in the various
schools.
KTJ students can well be proud of
their music department, which rep
resented our school at the southern
Oregon district music contest In
Medford this weekend In the best
way possible. They certainly
brought honor to us by bringing
home such high awards and fine
comments on "work well done."
Taking a look at the calendar of
events for May. we find thBt
every activity period and almost
every evening Is filled with meet
ings, banquets, dances and the
senior activities.
Perhaps most important In to-
i day's events, was the run-off
I election for the student' bov of
ficers. Friday, a student bodv
meeting will be held to Uistull the
new officers.
J Rallv squad trv-outs began this
noon. The girls who signed up with
ftiiss Kuncs to participate trled
out In front of a special selecting
committee which consisted of one
freshman, one sophomore, two
juniors and two seniors.
This committee will again see
them trv-out tomorrow noon, and
they will then select a number of
finalists. Wednesday during the
activity period, students will have
a chance to sec the finalists in
action. Thursday the student bodv
will then vote tor those thev wish
to serve on next year's rally squad.

1,415 MILE I pT
TEST ?A If
What t test to prove Mercury and Lincoln superiority I
This year's Mobilgas Economy Run covers a 1 ,41 B-mile
course longest, toughest test in Mobilgas Economy
Run history. Elevations range from below sea level to
8,010 feet above. Mercury out-performed all others
to win both the grand Sweepstakes prize and Class
C trophy. Lincoln won Class G and was Mercury's
closest competition for top Sweepstakes honors.
Lincoln Again Best in Class
Runs Second in Sweepstakes
Mercury, the car that challenged them all,
hag done it again . . . won the grand Swenp
Btakes prize in this "world series" for auto
mobiles. And this isn't the first time! Just look at
Mercury's three-year-in-a-row record: three
out of three times winner in its price class;
two out of three times Sweepstakes winner
against aft cars in every class! Look at
Lincoln, too. Lincoln won Class G first prize,
.and provided Mercury's closest competition
for top Sweepstakes honors.
The Mobilgas Economy Run is open to all
' cars of every make. Every car is a Mock car,
selected at random by the A.A.A. To assure
an equal chance fot all, regardless of size and
weight, ton-miles-per-gallon performance
determines the winner.
A L952 Mercury Monterey Special Custom
Sedan with optional overdrive swept the field
with 59.7188 ton-miles-per gallon, averaging
25.4093 miles per gallon. And the engine that
did it is Mercury's famous V-8. The Lincoln
Capri Sedan with Hydra-Mat.ic transmission
won its class prize with 58.9085 ton-miles-per-gallon,
averaging 22.3562 miles per gallon.
That's something to think about when you
buy a new car. Mercury, which for months
has been challenging the industry to match it,
has now proved its superiority for economy.
Right now, in our showroom, is a 1952
Mercury, similar to the one that won this
official, impartial test. Why not stop around
and give it a try? No obligation, of course.
